LV Speedy - What size?

LVOE me some MJThread Starter

Just wondering what size Speedy would be more appropriate for a girl of my height - 5'6", the 25 or 30? Are the handles on the 25 too small to put in the crook of your arm? Also, does the 30 look bad/deflated if you don't have a lot in it?

-- Modeling pictures or links to some threads with them would be appreciated, thank you

Note: No matter what size I get, I plan to get a base shaper to combat sagging

I want all the bags

There have been a lot of posts on this previously. If you do a search, you might find something helpful.

I think it would be best if you try on both sizes to see which you like. I just bought a 25. I fully expected to get a 30 based on other posts I've read here. I'm 5'8" & thought a 30 would suit my height better, but I prefered the 25 when I tried them both.

HELLO!
Neko, at 5'2" I find carrying a Speedy 25 to be a perfect fit. It certainly DOES hang on the crook of your arm (I do not think there is a difference in handle drop length between the 25 and 30). For someone of your height, I do think you could manage the 30 as well. A tall girl can do either, IMO. A short girl may need to be careful which size she chooses unless she absolutely ADORES a larger style bag, IMO.
One piece of advice: the Speedy 30, I hear, sags more than a 25. I have recently taken the cardboard flap from the bottom of my 25 and amazingly, it is still retaining its shape and I actually prefer it better this way.
For pics, (as I have none of myself loaded now) I suggest you visit the other threads in the reference section, or Speedy Gonzalez clubhouse. Good Luck!

I agree with dooney, the handles aren't different between the styles.. unless you're talking about the mini HL! lol! I prefer the 25.. I can't fill up a 30 plus 25 can become formal without looking too casual.

I am 5'5 and I have a 30 and love it. I think you really need to try both as it depends on how much stuff you carry. I use either a purseket or a camelion in my bag. The pursket helps with the sagging more but I think the pocket sizes on the camelion work better for me.
